Cool :) I need to get me some of those soon--I need my Kenshin fix :)
Well, hiiiiiiiiiiiidy-ho! :)
~waving at you two~
*snif*
Great pics of OT, you and the jedis. The whistle moot appears to be a success, thanks for posting. Looks like nice weather for her return drive. It's only in the mid 70's here and the weather is cooperating.
Hmmmm... maybe we need to pray that that guy goes to grad school! And we know who we're praying for to take his job.
I am really not all that excited about moving "home." I don't want to live there now a terribly lot either. But, the house there is paid for. I would like to go to San Antonio or Tucson. Maybe Colorado Springs. I have friends or friendly family in those places. Of course, I only look in those places sporadically. And in each of those cities there are people I love who would let me stay there till I got on my feet. :-)
You can stay with me as long as you like!
I suppose I'll have a couch, anyway! What time frame are we looking at, anyway?
Well, the bow is shooting but the tiller isn't to my liking yet, so will move on for a bit to another task.
I think the reference to "different" was in respect to Japanese Yumi long bow, they have their own tradition of horse archery as well. The Koreans generally used a shorter horn backed bow. Like most things today, there are websites for Korean Archery and Japanese Archery and Horse Bows. Fortunately, there are fiberglass reproductions available in most cultural affiliations, given the high price of traditional crafted examples.
There is a horse bow festival each year in Ft. Dodge Iowa around Labor Day. It beginning to have a following here in the US. The bows of the Rohan horse archers are good examples, doubtless there will be a few in attendance.
Foot bows, another type, I know that they were used for flight or distance shooting, and there is still a small but dedicated following here in the US.
There are some references to large, long bows used to launch a heavy arrow against fixed or massed targets, but distance along is its forte.
I didn't even notice the four-of-a-kind :) Nice snaig!--LOL!
August is all I know! I'm hoping for early August...but it was a brief conversation and I don't have their phone number at the moment. I should know more in a few weeks, I'd think.
Ralph Payne-Gallwey, The Book of the Crossbow
A facsimile reprint of The Crossbow published in 1903 by Longmans, Green, and Co. in London. Surveys the history of the crossbow with comparisons to the longbow, shortbow and handgun; the construction and management of medieval and modern crossbows; and the ancient and medieval siege engines that stand in evolutionary relation to crossbows as cannons do to rifles. An appendix looks at Turkish and other oriental bows.
Heh...I'm half hoping he doesn't go, since we already lost one of the team already this year - the only other gal finished grad school (she was only working for us part time during the school year) and got a job. But...I sure could use some better pay.
The other thing is...if the union stuff ever gets straightened out, it's possible they'll pay us back pay...i.e. if the rules say we should get a 2 or 3 percent cost of living kinda raise...we may get it back to when it should have been effective. Which would be June or July, I think...but at least it would mean we WOULD get that. So...I'm praying for that, too!
I'll be there in early August, so I hope you can come out before the school year starts, though you might get the fun of coming with me to the DMV, etcetera.
Well that picture puts the 'slightly pudgy housewife' idea to rest! Both of y'all look great!
I'm fixing to post the pictures of the Applebee's parking lot jam!
I asked the boys about going out for Thai and turns out both of them want to go Japanese because they want sushi!
Here's a picture of Van-sama!!
Van-sama!
You know, Rosie, if you should move, and would need new plates anyway, you'd just have to get vanity plates...
Ah, sheesh. Sneak.
Sneak.
